Remember when we heard that he was really disappointed

[malaise]

that others weren't as excited as he was during the invasion of Congress/attempted coup. Well now, contrary to his statement that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not be arrested, there are three criminal investigations on the way.

That stupid grin has been wiped of his ugly face. He is history.
Don't give them an inch Dems - keep the crimes of the insurrectionist in chief and his tools front and center.
Now get the Select Committee going RFN!

[sprinkleeninow]

1. Following semi-deep reflective thought, one is left with a sick sensation

when hits the reality of the entity that was allowed to have a presence in the highest office of our land.

[malaise]

2. That is the most frightening part of it all

and yet it looks like the promised tax details have come back to haunt him.
How did this monster become president?

[sprinkleeninow]

3. It was like we were la-dee-da-dee-da going about our lives then

bam! the rug got pulled out from under us.

Those 4 years. They brought unexpected damage causing considerable harm in many ways.

[FakeNoose]

10. He stole more than 4 years from us

Think about it, how many years will this litigation take? I'll bet we'll still be talking about Chump for the next 4 or 5 years until he's finally put away in prison - or dead.

All the evil that was done during his lousy one term will take at least 10 years of hard work to undo and reset. Some of it can't be undone - 500,000 Americans died needlessly of a dangerous virus and he took no precautions. He ignored all the warnings.

I hope our grandchildren outlive the bad memory of Chump, because I know none of us will.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Agreed.

[niyad]

29. You are quite correct.

[certainot]

32. since you asked - imo it was the radio. 30 years of unchallenged repetition of whatever the

cons wanted to pump out of 1500 coordinated radio stations, while dems got obsessed with fox, a symptom, the cartoon cliff notes. the russians started feeding it at least in 2007 and pushed palin on mccain and have been feeding it and piggybacking it ever since. the collusion was right under our noses. all they had to do was figure out how to feed trump's golf partner and neighbor in palm beach, who's show on 600 radio stations reached 20 mil a day and set the tone for 1000 other stations.

they're dittoheads and trumpism died with limbaugh, who said the word "trump" an average of 50 times an hour since the 2016 primaries, while media labeled trump a branding genius and ignored the radio. ironically, trump killed his sir lie-a-lot by getting him to delay treatments so he could keep making excuses for him and keep republicans in line

[malaise]

33. Important post

Where was liberal radio?

[certainot]

41. rw bought up all the loudest radio stations and then said it was 'market demand'

liberals got so far behind they had no chance vs the monopoly, so it was/is mom and pop vs walmart.

but it wouldn't take much to force the ad industry to break up the monopoly now that artificial intelligence makes it so easy and cheap to record and transcribe and analyze it on large scale. for boycotters it means listing advertisers without listening, just searching.

then there are all those university and pro teams that support hundreds of stations and need to be 'encouraged' to find alternatives.

already they're losing ad revenue and can't replace limbaugh with one guy so all the different owners will eventually go different directions - all or most that stick with rw talk will be losing, since he was the king it was all built around. right now there are probably a lot of pissed off advertisers and radio stations losiing audience and the limbaugh show is doing the 'best of' with half assed replacements

47. Add onto that right-wing religion

For generations, their "men of God" have told them that they're Jesus' special snowflakes, and of course God agrees 100% with their political opinions. When you're told this, it leads to a kind of radicalization that goes beyond not being willing to work with the other side but viewing them as pawns - either knowingly or unknowingly - of the Devil. Add onto this that republicans have always said (at least since I've been alive) in one way or another, that their candidates are God's chosen (no more so than with Trump), and all you're missing are belt buckles with, "Gott Mitt Uns," inscribed on them.

I've been doing a deep dive into the latest batch of "prophets." They all have their own YouTube channels, and they all predicted Trump would win, and the fact that Biden is president is all the proof that the election was stolen - the nutty Q theories on vote fraud is just gravy. God's will not being done is good enough.

TlalocW

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

57. yes I agree

that right wing stuff has been around for at least 30 years, almost two generations of hate filled vitriol, poisoning the politcal discourse and warping the minds of low informed/low intelligence voters.

[Cozmo]

52. I think he became president because of TV

And the stock that viewers place on it's validity.
Lest we forget he did lose the popular vote

[NJCher]

58. History will see it

As one of the greatest flaws in our electoral process—that such an utterly horrible, depraved, immature person could have one of the most important and powerful positions in the country.

It is also unusual that when it comes to bad people, he excels in every way. He literally has no redeeming qualities.

[sprinkleeninow]

59. Exactly that.

In reviewing the 2016 election, it came to me that enough people I 'know' as acquaintences or stronger, were quite vocal in expressing their dislike of HRC. They were dreading the chance that she would be elected when it did look a possibility. I just wondered if, IF, we had 'not a woman candidate'. Don't really know if that would have made a difference in light of all that came together against us in obtaining a victory. Gerrymandering, foreign interference, voter suppression, etc., etc. I'll never forget, with disgust in my soul, how he conducted himself in the debates with her. He had not one iota of any qualities or standards to be granted the office of U.S. President.

Well, thanks be we now are gifted with Pres. Biden and Vice Pres. Harris. And the entire administration.

I personally couldn't wrap my noggin around if that had not been the 2020 election outcome. I shudder in considering.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Democrats have allowed Republicans to put their fingerprints all over it

That's the benefit of proceeding at a slow, measured pace, which has been and continues to be a point of criticism Democrats level at our party leaders.

[PatSeg]

24. Excellent point

Slow and steady often brings about longer and more effective resolution. That is pretty much how democracy works.

[malaise]

28. Yes they've been given enough rope to

hang themselves on their own gallows

[MiHale]

5. Will it be ...

“The Summer of His Discontent” ?

I think it’s going to look like a fast food Burger College with all the flipping that will go on.

[gab13by13]

7. I loved it when Michael Cohen

last night said that MF45 is going to flip on Ivanka, Eric, Don Jr. and Melania if need be. It's what MF45 did, he put his kids in charge of criminal enterprises to keep himself out of legal jeopardy.

I really really anticipate those mug shots.

My favorite law suit is E. Jeanne Carroll's. MF45 still has to provide his DNA sample.

[ScratchCat]

38. There is no scenario

Where Donald Trump would be offered a cooperation agreement against any other person, especially and including his family.

[malaise]

14. Beautifully written

[gab13by13]

6. Republicans didn't even try for a bipartisan

commission for Benghazi, they went straight to select committees. 2 i/2 years and 33 hearings, spent millions, with the result of no wrong doing.

Speaker Pelosi will have to wait for the Senate to vote down the commission before she goes for the select committee.

The more I think about it, the GQP made a mistake not voting for the bipartisan commission because they had equal rights with Democrats. Since everything is political with them they can't vote for the commission because it will pizz off MF45 and the base. What a pathetic bunch of losers. GQP Reps do nothing but fund beg for money, lie, and introduce bills written by the Heritage Foundation.

[malaise]

15. Well said

By the way the Heritage Foundation is a hate group

[Duppers]

36. Certainly is!

They're a bunch of hateful, insane f'ers. My hub's ex-boss's son has worked for them for yrs. Christo-fascist to the max. "The end justifies the means" people.

[multigraincracker]

8. What can we do?

Mid-terms.....GOTV

[True Blue American]

9. Pelosi said

“ There would be an investigation whether they approved it or not!”

[malaise]

12. And I believe her

Go Dems

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

43. Nancy Pelosi is very smart and she knows how to fight to get her way, also.

There is no Republican in the House she can't handle and that is why they hate and demonize her.

Go, Nancy and Go Dems!

[marble falls]

11. It's a race between NYC and SDNY over who indicts him first. I'm thinking sometime around Sept.

[malaise]

13. Don't leave out Georgia

[marble falls]

30. I think Georgia's also going to change the arc of Lindsey Graham's career, too.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

44. Isn't he on tape like Dolt 45* trying to strongarm and influence the Georgia SOS to help Trump win?

[stage left]

56. I hope you're right.

I'm in South Carolina and I loathe that mealy-mouthed son of a bitch.

[True Blue American]

16. I heard this morning late summer.

Trump is not safe in New Jersey. Governor said so.

[malaise]

19. Delish

[spanone]

17. Dear Speaker Pelosi....Proceed with the commission and screw the traitors who refuse to participate

[Duppers]

37. Well put!

Yes, indeed.

[niyad]

18. I hope that you are correct. But I think that his many personality disorders are so profound

that he believes himself invincible. As Mary Trump said, he has never faced consequences for his actions.

Because I am such a nasty woman, I would LOVE to see him in handcuffs, with tears streaming down his face.

[malaise]

20. Evry day carry bucket go a well

One day di bucket bottom muss bruk out -Jamaican proverb

Justice is coming - time to suffer the consequences

[niyad]

23. And you know what song is playing in my head now!

[ProfessorGAC]

46. Same Here!

Gonna be in there all night, now.
I say you & me blame Malaise!

[niyad]

48. Of course we will!

[malaise]

54. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[Evolve Dammit]

27. nothin' nasty about that wish. Cause for celebration IMHO. Orange is his color BTW

[lunatica]

42. And scrubbed clean in prison orange fatigues.

Without the benefit of hair spray.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

45. And when they put him into a vehicle handcuffed,

I hope they heed his words and "please don't be nice". And no stopping for burgers or pizza on the way to jail, either. He can eat cold leftovers at the jail.
Oh and he can have a TV but it will be on MSNBC 24/7.

[malaise]

49. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

That would be delish!

[NH Ethylene]

55. There are plenty of 'nasty women' here just like you.

Like me.

I can't imagine a more delightful scenario than Trump being hauled away in handcuffs, his face contorted with anger and confusion as he bellows out, "I'm being treated unfairly!"

[malaise]

60. He'll be screaming

Witch hunt!

[kentuck]

21. That's why they need a Commission...

So they can find the answer to that question.

They could subpoena those in the Oval Office to testify on his state of mind on that day.

[malaise]

22. They can do that with a Select Committee - ask Hillary Clinton

[kentuck]

25. No doubt it would be very political and very partisan.

A Commission would be better but Democrats may have no choice. Maybe they could subpoena Donald Trump to come before their Committee? Of course, he would refuse. What would be their recourse if that happened?

[IronLionZion]

31. He's planning to start big campaign rallies again

to help his unvaccinated supporters spread the virus around to each other. I hope somebody locks him up soon.

[malaise]

34. They will flop

Take that to the bank

[IronLionZion]

35. The investigations or the rallies?

I'm hoping some good prosecution can put a stop to this nonsense.

[malaise]

40. The rallies

[Blue Owl]

39. K&R

[LanternWaste]

50. Ah, Trump... I will weep for thee; for this revolt of thine, methinks, is like another fall of man

"I will weep for thee; for this revolt of thine, methinks, is like another fall of man. His faults are open. Arrest him to the answer of the law; and God acquit him of his practices"

[malaise]

51. Nicely played! Oh Henry!

[Heartstrings]

53. Lock him up!

And throw away the key....no internet, hamberders, covfefe, chocolate cake....do not pass go, do not collect one iota of sympathy from me.

Just go away....
